Canadian Maritime Nets

Information
on the very beginning of the Professional Loafers Net is sketchy. I'm
told that it was started by Eddy Allen - VE1BEW. He thought there should
be a net on 80 metres in the mornings for Maritimers and I’m told he
had only one check-in on the first net, a friend - VE1AQO. Shortly after
VE1IS - Lou joined the net as a net control. The net started on 3.760
and moved to it’s present frequency of 3.735 sometime in the 90's due to
interference from some out-of-the Maritimes stations using the same
frequency.

A few of the net controllers from the late 90's that i
remember were VE1IS - Lou, VY2AAM - Phil, VE1BLC - Adolph, VE1BEW -
Linda, VE1EEE - Joe, VE1AKP - Bob, VE1CFC - Claude. And many others.

VE1GA
- Leigh says "My earliest recollections of this date back to the mid
1960’s. In the 1965-69 period a group of VE1’s gathered in 80M in the
mid morning weekday hours. One in particular whom I knew very well was
VE1GX, Charlie Girvan (SK). Charlie’s typical QSO group would have
included VE1LG, Fred Bath (SK), VE1GB, Rev. Harry Bird (SK), VE1IC,
Barak Smith (SK), among others. I had been an active SWL for a few years
prior to obtaining my licence (VE1AUC) in 1966. Being in middle school
and high school during that time period I did not get to "tune-in" to
the gang. However, in QSO’s with them both on the air and eyeball to
eyeball they did refer to their gathering on the air as the
"Professional Loafers".

So it seems the PL Net has been around for over 45 years.
If anyone has anymore info on the PL net It would be much appreciated if you would share it with us.
Thanks. VE1KRE - Keith
